Client & product

Our client noticed that some parts of the traditional restaurant booking workflow in Qatar were suboptimal and had an idea for how to improve them.

TableZ is a digital restaurant booking platform that aims to be as intuitive and easy-to-use as possible.

Challenges

The main challenge of this project was providing operators and restaurant managers with access to the booking management feature while keeping the overall booking workflow stable. The highly intuitive UI was a pressure point in particular since the majority of managers did not have a lot of experience with tech.

Job done

We studied the market and existing booking workflows to find a way to integrate TableZ into them with minimal changes to traditional operations. Using that knowledge, our team was able to build an intuitive and simple experience for managers and operators.

Intuitive design

The app design focuses on bold colors and meaningful animations. To enhance the user interface, we used restaurant cards with background images.
